Eight Korean pharmaceutical companies will donate medicine, medical supplies and health supplements to Ukraine that's been devastated by Russia's invasion, a pharmaceutical association said Monday.
The Korea Pharmaceutical and Bio-Pharma Manufacturers Association said its eight member companies offered to donate medical goods worth 3 billion won ($2.43 million) at the request of Global Life Sharing, a Seoul-based nonprofit group that provides medical support to war- and poverty-stricken areas.
The companies are Kyung Dong Pharmaceutical, Daewoong Pharmaceutical, Dongkook Pharmaceutical, Il Yang Pharmaceutical, Genu Pharma, Firson, Hana Pharm and Hanmi Pharmaceutical.
